certainly counterterrorism adviser john brennan will be meeting about those. as you know, the white house has been to some extent on going af president obama on this issue saying he hadn't been tough enough. the white house has responded by pointing to the fact that romney really responded to the attack in benghazi before he had all of the information. president obama gets strong marks when it comes to foreign policy, but there is no doubt, martin, that this has created some vulnerabilities for the president when you look at the polling. his polling has dropped on his handling of foreign policy from august to september. so the white house certainly concerned about this issue and sending john brennan to talk to top official there is in libya. martin? >> yeah. and also, kristin, you are out there in california where the president has again been reaching out particularly to latino voters continuing to extend that big differential, that big gap with mitt romney. what has happened so far today? >> reporter: well, president obama here announcing that the home of ces
